Breastfeeding and Antidepressants

[coloradomonkeymom]

Does anyone have any experience with this. I know what they say is OK but I'd like first hand experience if anyone has any to offer.
Thanks!

The only issue I had with taking an AD (Zoloft) while breastfeeding is that I was unable to donate my excess milk to a milk bank. But that isn't nearly as important as keeping your depression at bay. (I did end up donating milk privately anyhow.)

I take wellbutrin xl and have not had any problems with breastfeeding my daughter.

I took zoloft while pregnant with my daughter and continued while I nursed her. She's 5 now, and I haven't seen any issues, either short or long-term, with my antidepressant usage. The folks in the Post Partum Depression subforum (a bit higher on the main page) would have more experiences.
